Swede Bottleshare on tuesday (I have hosted it the past 2 years when friends come in from Gothenburg).
grand Prix on wednesday/thursday/friday

No idea about other days or evening plans. Might keep it open in case there is a northern CA tap takeover or another HpB vs. Cellarmaker event at tiger!tiger!
 
I have not. I was told it would have been here in early September but never saw a bottleshop post they had it. I guess I should have gone to Tilquin instead of sitting on the benches at OpenBeerDays. c'est la vie. =P



Belgium is quite enjoyable. I had a fantastic time. My issue is that the beer was damn delicious and despite going to OBD all three days I only bought one of the sets for myself. So I only got 1 bottle of framboos in it. Secondary has been 100-120, so even though the 60 was a hard pill to swallow I know those I end up sharing it with will like it.

Yeah I saw them end up everywhere but socal. With all the beer distro we do get I can't complain.
 
You guys have any concrete plans for SDBW? I'm a maybe on 90% of it, but I'll be heading down to RCNP to pick up packs of Caught in a Rip.

Only things I have committed to are MT League tasting Tuesday (maybe O'Briens after for Central Coast beers) and Speedway Grand Prix on Wednesday.
Speedway GP Wed for me. Left the kickoff share a little early this time. Not for lack of fantastic beer and friends though.
Caught in a Rip and Caught in a Haze are both ******* outstanding. Dangerously drinkable.
Caught in a rip pretty much ended my time at the share! Awesome stuff, didn't make it today hoping to get cans tomorrow.
 
RCNP + NPBC today, probably stop into Toronado and see what's going on. PPOB on Sunday for their coffee beer event. NPBC Tuesday for their bottle release (and MT League Preview followed by Suffocation/Cattle Decap/Krisiun in the evening). Speedway Grand Prix and possibly BLAH for Great Notion on Friday.

Nothing really crazy, too much good beer year-round to get worked up about chasing stuff at shitshow events.
the NPBC BA beer is hot ****
 
Hate to be that guy, just don't quite hate it enough to not be that guy in this instance, if anyone is going to pickup tickets for the Mostra anniversary in person on 11/10 and wants to pick one up for me I'll bring a few Highland Park Brewery goodies down with your name on it.
 
Currently drinking BBomb on draft at Bottlecraft. They also have Cellarman, along with a flood of Spice Wars KDS and a decent amount of lambic whalez bottles.

The amount of phenomenal beer in this city right now is insane.
 
BA Maple Vanilla Dusk til Dawn is killer. Excellent balance between the base, barrel, and adjuncts.

Also, I'm fairly curious to find out who left the "There is only Xul" post-it on my coaster while I was in the restroom (if it was even someone here?). I either totally missed someone as I looked around the room or I have a secret stalker...pretty sure I don't warrant the latter so the former seems pretty likely.

Lol. That was me. I was going to say hi and then you left when I went to the bathroom.
